If your OS is WinXP then you need at least 256MB of ram just for ordinary PC use. I will agree that you need to install more ram, it is a very easy process. Furthermore I suggest you set your virtual memory manually (do not let windows magage it). The suggested ammount of VM is about 1.5 times the physical memory you have. If you make it static (ie min and max amount is the same) windows will run a bit (just a bit) faster.
